| Would King of Beer be the landlord of this establishment? Surely he is the only person deluded enough to believe "sound traditonal food offering", "friendly and helpful staff" You have got to be kidding. If you want to wait 40 minutes for 2 fish and chips, with staff who don't seem to have a clue who is waiting.All attempts to catch the waiter's eye failed This is the worst kind of pub, knows it will still be busy thanks to tourists, so doesn't care what kind of service you get.

| a bloody good little pub, given there must have been a huge tempation to tart it up for the tourists. the irish fellow behind the bar is one of the friendliest blokes in london and they also sell a nice pint of numbers. magic_numbers - 13 Jul 2007 16:10 |
| As a northener (albeit not a monkey), my first impressions of this place were not too bad - the beer was in good shape and, as touched on in another comment, it's just off the main hustle and bustle of Leicester Square. Will bear it in mind for the next time I'm in the area. MINTYBOOM - 10 Jul 2007 12:17 |
| Have been drinking in this locality for a number of years now and must disagree entirely with the northern monkey...Sorry!Whilst other pubs have obviously had money chucked at them to "tart them up" this pub has proved itself a tried and tested winner in my book. An endless selection of constantly changing ales (from many regional micro-brewers) coupled with a sound traditional pub food offering makes this place a real gem. Nicely tucked away from the more expensive touristy rip off pubs this one is a real find! Helpful and friendly staff who know their stuff. Try it! kingofbeer - 19 May 2007 23:52 |
| If you want a nice looking bar head next door to the Crooked Surgeon. If price is your thing, head here. Quite possibly the worst service and speed in the area, but they will sell you a relatively bargain pint, even if the product choice is extremely limited. northernmonkey - 29 Apr 2007 15:40 |
